Summary
Built in 1935, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16 feet and stretches 840 feet in length, providing recreational opportunities for the community. Despite its age, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission, Nd No Name 133 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance. With a storage capacity of 178 acre-feet and a surface area of 17.2 acres, the dam serves the primary purpose of recreation. Although it has an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 110 feet, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level (rating of 3) according to risk assessment measures.
Overall, Nd No Name 133 is a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region, providing both recreational benefits and flood control measures. With its historical significance and ongoing oversight by state regulators, this dam serves as a key asset in ensuring the safety and well-being of the local community and surrounding areas.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
